About Spray Foam

To create foam, two liquids initiate a chemical reaction. The A side–composed of a mixture of MDI and pMDI– and the B side–a polyol and small amounts of other liquids– are stored in drum containers before they are mixed together to create foam. Blowing agents help the foam expand. The amount foam expands determines it’s “cell density:” density will either be considered open cell or closed cell.

Learn about the differences between Open Cell and Closed Cell Foam in this informative YouTube video by Steve Maxwell.
